Safety, trust & environment

If your dog is trained, then I can crate them when/if needed. I religiously check gates, doors, and openings to ensure everyone’s safe during my stays.

Information Michael C. would like to know about your pet

I have experience sitting dogs with physical, mental, and behavioral differences. I’m more than willing to accommodate any needs and administer any necessary medications that your dog requires.

A typical day

Depending on your dogs activity level, the day can vary based on how much activity and/or stimulation is needed. I have experience with the full spectrum of dogs as some I’ve walked (even ran sometimes) every morning first thing. I’ve also worked with dogs who enjoy playing catch or relaxing watching tv!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a mental health professional working in Reno. During the day I work with children with varying disabilities and learning difficulties at school. Afternoons and nights I’m usually spending time with my own pets and relaxing. I’ve had both cats and dogs growing up and have lots of experience pet sitting for families. Whether you're going out of town or just need someone to check on your pup/cat and feed them, I can make things more convenient for you! I live relatively close to my day job and close to the freeway, so I can get to most places within a reasonable time. Please feel free to contact me with any inquiries or to set up a time that works best for your schedule!

Michael was wonderful. My furry family members were happy and well cared for. My home was well cared for as well. He is kind. He is considerate. And best of all he remembers the little things.

Micheal was amazing! When I first met him, I immediately felt comfortable. He took Henrik on 3 much needed walks. I would 100% recommend Micheal! I will for sure be asking him again. Thank you for taking care of our pup!

10/10! Michael is awesome and he went above and beyond taking care of my creatures. My dog absolutely loved him and it was so nice to go out and not be stressed about it. Will definitely hire again!

My golden retrievers think Michael is amazing and so do we. He is conscientious about keeping them engaged with toys, walks and swimming. He always leaves our house just as he found it. He consistently goes above and beyond which is very much appreciated and eliminates any possible anxiety in leaving the dogs in his care.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
